美国大学怎么教马克思原理

另外值得一提的是，这门课也是我上过的所有人文社科类课程中，唯一将考试作为最终考核方式的。这与人文社科教学看重学生“自由发挥”能力的传统大相径庭。三次考试，都是由若干小作文和一篇大作文组成，重在考察学生对马克思的基本概念、理论以及各个概念和理论之间的联系是否有透彻的理解。这也再次体现了这门课的主旨：帮助学生理解马克思究竟说了什么，而不是鼓励学生在缺乏理解的情况下自由发挥。

这门课带给我的收获，大致可以归结为三个层面：还原马克思、拼接马克思、超越马克思。

既然马克思有种种不是，我们还读他干嘛？在我看来，马克思主义的生命力在于，它为我们提供了两样东西，使我们能超越马克思本人的具体论断，去分析更为复杂的当今社会。这两样东西，一曰“视角”，二曰“概念”。

Course Goals

The basic goal of the course is to help students acquire a clear understanding of the central concepts of Marx’s thought, such as alienation, capital, communism, and surplus value. The exams will focus on these concepts. A second goal is for students to recognize and evaluate the ways in which Marx’s concepts play a central role in different scholarly disciplines, such as Marxist cultural theory, Marxist history, or Marxist anthropology. Third, the course should give students basic familiarity with the historical and intellectual context from which Marx’s thought emerged, including the history of European philosophy, politics, and economics, as well as European colonialism and capitalist development. Finally, I hope that students will be able to situate Marxist theory in relation to a series of other contemporary theoretical paradigms with which they are already familiar, such as theories of race, gender, sexuality, and ecology.
